She'll remember us
Too rainy to take photos of Ray in the streets of East Verdun so we drive over right away to the Tuesday 'Stuffed Peppers on Special' waiting for us under the hotlights at Vichy’s buffet on Newman Boulevard
We get in line and there's the manager giving one of the young waitresses royal shit cause she didn’t place the cake properly on one of the dessert trays
Later when the young waitress comes over to our booth to pour us some water I said
"Ya know your boss doesn't have the right to talk to you like that-I mean do you like it when he talks like that?”
“..well..he’s not a bad guy”
“Not a bad guy?”
“Just worrys too much”
“Yeah well-that water you’re pouring?- pour it right on his head the next time and then he’ll really have something to worry about”
She laughed and then looked uncomfortable but she’ll remember us.

Dave,
I've just run across your blog tonight while doing internet research, and I've had to turn off my work timer so I can just go back through and read your archives from the beginning.
This kind of post is the kind I enjoy -- such a slice of life picture, so alive -- a lot of your political talk is above my head or outside my conscious experience -- I am probably a person who would bore the hell out of you.
Oh well I am what I am, as Popeye would say.
